Description

Method for preparing high-purity copper sulfate from waste electrolyte
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of wet metallurgy and chemical industry, in particular to a method for preparing high-purity copper sulfate from waste electrolyte.
Background
In the copper electrolytic refining process, the components of the electrolyte are continuously changed, the concentration of copper ions is continuously increased, impurities are continuously accumulated, and the concentration of sulfuric acid is gradually reduced. In order to maintain the copper, acid content and impurity concentration in the electrolyte within specified ranges, the electrolyte must be purified and adjusted to ensure proper operation of the electrolysis process. Generally, a certain amount of electrolyte is extracted according to the calculation of impurities with the fastest rising speed, and then a corresponding amount of water and sulfuric acid are added to maintain the volume of the electrolyte unchanged. The extracted waste electrolyte is used for recovering copper sulfate.
When the waste electrolyte is used for producing copper sulfate, a copper neutralization method or a direct concentration crystallization method is generally adopted. The copper neutralization method is to stack waste copper wires, waste copper sheets, waste copper scraps or residual copper pole pieces in waste electrolyte, and then blow air at 85 ℃ to enable sulfuric acid and copper to react to generate copper sulfate. The larger the surface area of the waste copper material is, the faster the reaction speed is, the density of the solution is gradually increased along with the continuous dissolution of copper, and the neutralization process is finished when the density of the solution reaches about 1.4 g/L. Then after filtration, the mixture is put into a water-cooling crystallization tank or a natural cooling crystallization tank to be stirred for cooling crystallization, after crystallization, a copper sulfate product is obtained through filtration, washing, dehydration and drying, and the obtained mother liquor is subjected to copper removal electrolysis. The method has low reaction rate and high production cost. The direct concentration method is to heat, evaporate and concentrate the waste electrolyte and then crystallize to obtain the smelted copper sulfate. However, because the acidity in the waste electrolyte is too high, the quality of the copper sulfate produced by a direct concentration method is poor, a large amount of free acid is mixed in the copper sulfate product, the content of arsenic, iron and other impurities is also seriously exceeded, the main grade of the product is about 85 percent, and the product has a larger difference from the qualified copper sulfate product.
